Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply personal and meditative album from a pioneer of spiritual jazz. This session is notable for featuring Alice Coltrane's incredible harp playing as the lead instrument. Her harp creates shimmering, celestial textures that cascade over the sensitive bass of Ron Carter and the free-flowing percussion of Rashied Ali. The music is introspective and beautiful, creating a unique sonic space that transcends the conventions of jazz.
